Sometimes grief does something strange.
Your mind knows they’re gone.
But your heart… keeps expecting them to walk through the door.
That’s why a funeral matters.
Not because of tradition. Not because you “should.”
But because it helps bridge the gap between knowing and accepting.
Seeing the casket. Hearing stories in the past tense.
Being surrounded by others who cared.
These moments help the heart catch up to what the mind already knows.

This is a fabulous service offered by Grief Support Services Inc.
Thank you for all the great work you do in the community 💖

Our WAVES support group is coming back in 2026, kicking off on the 2nd of February. Each Monday for eight weeks, we'll come together and create a village of those who understand what it is you're going through. WAVES is designed to help you understand and manage your grief, build resilience, and find hope in the face of profound loss.

If you're located in Tauranga or the wider WBOP and are struggling with the impacts of su***de bereavement, this might just be the group for you. Reach out and talk to us today to reserve your spot, or find out more. We'd love to see you there!

We know Christmas can be a difficult time to navigate after the loss of a loved one. Our thoughts and prayers are with those who will have an empty chair at the table this year. 💞

It was a privilege to visit Tauranga Foodbank today to deliver donations from some of our families who we have cared for. We would like to sincerely thank all the people who have dropped donations in and the ones who attended our Christmas services and brought non perishable items with them. It is heartwarming to see that kindness is still very much alive even in times of grief and we appreciate you thinking of others. 💖Tauranga Foodbank - thank you for the incredible work you do and the huge difference you make to families particularly at this time of year. We are so very grateful. 💞

Tonight we shared together a time of reflection and remembrance by lighting a candle in honour of our loved ones. We were privileged to have our talented harpist Margaret to provide healing background music for the service led by Craig Capamagian. Thank you both for capturing the essence of a truly special evening. Thank you to Olive Tree Catering for the delightful refreshments and to all who made a generous donation to the Tauranga Foodbank 💖
